Museo Jumex, Mexico City, Mexico
19 November, 2013 – 9 February, 2014

Designed by David Chipperfield Architects, Museo Jumex is the new museum for contemporary art in Mexico City, which opened its doors to the public in November 2013, with an impressive inauguration of four exhibitions. Colección Júmex, arguably the largest private art collection in Latin America, includes over 2,000 artworks by notable international, Mexican and Latin American artists. A Place in Two Dimensions: A Selection from Colección Jumex + Fred Sandback showcases representative works from Jumex’s permanent collection (including sculptures, paintings, installations and videos created by over fifty different artists) and works by Fred Sandback: two independent and autonomous exhibitions, as “simultaneous realities”, installed in one single space. Among others, works by Sarah Lucas, Urs Fischer, Maurizio Cattelan, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, Peter Fischli and David Weiss, cohabit with seven sculptures by the American minimalist artist in the museum’s third floor gallery. Works from the permanent collection of Museo Jumex will be regularly rotated while hosting at least six exhibitions a year: stay tuned.
